Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 254 Is this the start of a meteoric rise?

Cao Jian's novel, "Lovers in the World," already amazed Shaw and his colleagues.

Originally, it was thought that Cantonese songs were Cao Jian's weak point, but when "Mythical Love Song" was played, everyone present was immediately surprised.

They were surprised to find that the song "Mythical Love Talk" was even better than "Lovers in the World".

Cao Jian, who rarely sings Cantonese songs, performed this very difficult song exceptionally well, so well that it could be described as perfect.

"This is talent? This is genius? This godson is convinced!"

Shaw made his final decision.

In the morning, Cao Jian told himself that he would be delivering the theme song for "The Condor Heroes" in the afternoon, and he had already made an appointment with Anita Mui.

Because Anita Mui is Cao Jian's godbrother.

Now that the song has passed, it seems that Fu Mingxian and Cao Jian are in love. You can tell from Fu Mingxian's eyes just now. They seem to be very affectionate.

Since that's the case, let's make this happen today.

Meanwhile, Anita Mui and Fu Mingxian were already immersed in the song.

Every shot on the television was meticulously crafted; the trees were real trees, the flowers were real flowers, the water was real water, and even the snow, which is rarely seen in Hong Kong, would melt when it fell on people.

With such a great film and such great music, it would be strange if "The Return of the Condor Heroes" wasn't a hit.

Cao Jian could see the admiration and respect in everyone's eyes.

But he thought to himself that this was just the beginning; next year's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" would be the real masterpiece that would sweep across all the major television stations.

As for the theme song "Hard to Recite Sutra", do you want to give it a try?
Although he had heard "The Sutra Is Hard to Recite" many times, he could learn the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, but he couldn't learn this song, let alone remember the lyrics.

"I'll find someone to write it and try it myself, since it'll be in a recording studio anyway."

Cao Jian loves martial arts films, and his voice now carries a sense of elegance and chivalry, making him the perfect OST for martial arts movies.

His thoughts had already drifted to "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" a year later.

At this point, the song "Mythical Love Talk" had finished playing.

"This song and the TV series are a perfect match."

Shaw praised her, then gave Mui Yan-fang a meaningful look.

Mei Yanfang knew the purpose of her visit today. She was invited to act as an intermediary, to help Cao Jian recognize Shao Yifu as his godfather.

In terms of age, it's perfectly fine for Shaw Yi-fu to be Cao Jian's grandfather.

Even in terms of status, although Cao Jian is very popular and wealthy now, he is still far from being a true leader in the entertainment industry; in fact, his foundation is still shallow.

Therefore, there are many benefits to recognizing this godfather.

However, before Cao Jian arrived, Mei Yanfang already knew that one reason Cao Jian had this godfather was that he and Fu Mingxian were in a relationship.

And they will get married in the future.

Because of this, Mei Yanfang, who had always been a fan of Cao Jian, felt a little uncomfortable.

But since it would benefit Cao Jian, we must help him.

As for whether or not I should call Shaw Brothers Grandpa, I'll just call him Glenn.

So she said, "Ah Jian, do you know why Mr. Shao asked me to come here today?"

"do not know."

Cao Jian shook his head. Although he was a reborn person, he couldn't guess Mei Yanfang's purpose in coming today.

"Congratulations, Ah Jian. Mr. Shao wants to recognize you as his grandson and will also give you a portion of TVB shares. From now on, you will be a TVB shareholder."

"What? Sister Mei, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Cao Jian was completely stunned when he heard this.

What's going on? Why does he want to recognize a godfather?

Isn't this like a pie falling from the sky?
This is the founder of TVB and Shaw Brothers, does he value himself that much?

If you become a shareholder of TVB, people in the entertainment industry probably know what kind of status you would have in Hong Kong. With shareholder status, you would definitely be able to work for the company.

Furthermore, both of Shaw's sons are abroad and have severed ties with him, so TVB...
Cao Jian suddenly developed an ambition to control the entire TVB.

Although TVB may decline in a few years, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. If I can control TVB, connect with Taiwan in the east, and expand into the mainland in the north, I might be able to prevent the entertainment industry in Japan and South Korea from developing.

If you make some good films and movies, you'll be the emperor of the entertainment industry.

Thinking of this, he looked up and found that Shaw was also looking at him expectantly.

For Shaw Yat-fu, there was a bet between him and Tsao Kin: if Tsao Kin lost, he would have to work at TVB for eight years. But now it seems that Tsao Kin will not lose.

Therefore, by adopting a godchild, he can not only ensure the continued success of TVB, the company he built, but also reconcile with his son in the future, and this person can also help his son.

Fu Mingxian never expected things to turn out this way today.

With Cao Jian becoming Shao Yifu's grandson, and given the relationship between the Fu and Shao families, this marriage should be no problem.

Therefore, he looked at Cao Jian expectantly, awaiting his decision.

For Cao Jian, there was almost no choice.

It's just about recognizing a godfather, right?
Moreover, Shaw was very old and had donated so many schools and libraries in the country, so calling him "Grandpa" was not an exaggeration.

He immediately stood up, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, respectfully approached Shao Yifu, handed it to him, and said, "Grandpa, please have some tea."

"Okay, good boy."

Shaw's wrinkled face was beaming with smiles.

Although many people call him Grandpa Shao, he hasn't been in contact with his two sons for over a decade, and he doesn't even know where his grandson is.

Cao Jian's address of "Grandpa" touched him deeply.

He carefully took the tea, took a sip, and although he had been hesitant at first, he liked Cao Jian more and more as he looked at him.

He put down the teacup, took out a document from the drawer, handed it over, and said with a smile, "Good child, this is a gift from Grandpa to you."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Cao Jian took it, opened it, and was immediately stunned.

The document in his hand was actually a share transfer document. Shaw had transferred 3% of the TVB shares he controlled to Cao Jian.

Although Anita Mui just said that she would receive shares, I never imagined it would be so many.

Today, TVB has a market value of over 20 billion, and Shaw Yat-fu controls 33% of it, making him the largest shareholder and the controller of the company.

Now, by directly transferring 3% to Cao Jian, Cao Jian will actually become the company's third largest shareholder.

Moreover, 3% of the shares are worth 6 million, which is quite a generous gift.

"Ah Jian, work hard in the future, and I'll make you the company's executive director, mainly in charge of film and television production for now."

Shao Yifu had a complete understanding of Cao Jian's abilities.

He can write, sing, act, and direct.

But that's not all. He's also a very good businessman, so they arranged a job for him, which allowed Cao Jian to start getting to know the core of TVB.

"This little guy is really going to soar to great heights."

Mei Yanfang completed her mission, but she felt both wistful and happy for Cao Jian.

With TVB as his backer, from now on, countless people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry will have to be mindful of Cao Jian's feelings.

"My future man can be summed up in two words: outstanding!"

Fu Mingxian had fallen madly in love with Cao Jian.

Thinking to myself, since it's bound to happen sooner or later anyway, should I take the initiative and spend the night with him?

Cao Jian, of course, understood the meaning of the document and replied, "I will definitely do my best."

"By the way, Jian, I'll release this information tomorrow to give you some publicity."

Shao Yifu had naturally investigated Cao Jian. Although he was rich now, his foundation was still somewhat shallow compared to other big shots.

Therefore, he wanted to publicize this matter and create momentum for his godson.

"Grandpa, there's no rush."

Cao Jian shook his head: "There's still more than a month until 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' wraps up filming. We can announce this then, and maybe it will help promote 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

"Haha, you really know how to create hype."

Shao Yifu immediately praised him, feeling that Cao Jian was indeed capable and that his choice was correct.

After chatting for a while, Mei Yanfang completed her task and took her leave.

Cao Jian was also preparing to go back and share this matter with his woman that evening.

But before he could speak, Shao Yifu said, "Ah Jian, have dinner with me tonight, and Fu girl will come too."

"If we go to Grandpa Shao's house, what will happen to me and him?"

Fu Mingxian is currently only thinking about how to offer himself to Shao Yifu, and is even somewhat resistant to the idea of ​​having dinner at Shao Yifu's house.
